genetics

Every night as I load up the dishwasher I am amazed at the amount of cups my family goes through in a day. Today I decided to keep track.

There are 7 people in this house and 21 cups on the counter. I know for a fact that I didn't use one of them and the man only used one when he came home from work. So that leaves 20 cups and 5 children. For some reason this is super irritating to me. It was irritating to my mother as well when I was a kid growing up. She never really nagged about stuff, that I can remember, except the cups. Why did we need so many cups? Why do my kids need so many cups?

Ah this exact thing is driving me CRAZY at my house lately too! My kids new thing is to use two at once - one inside of the other cause then it changes the color of the cup. um.... that's just annoying!
